FAQ's

What kind of materials can Abrasive Waterjet cut?
Abrasive Waterjet can virtually cut anything.

Can Abrasive Waterjet cut very brittle material?
Of course, brittle material such as glass, tile, and ceramic can be cut easily. Abrasive Waterjet creates almost no cutting force.

How thick can Abrasive Waterjet cut?
Depending on material. In most case, 2"-3" thick material can be machined quite easily. 6" thick titanium was cut by Abrasive Waterjet before.

What about the surface finish?
The quality of surface finish depends on many factors such as the type of abrasive and feed rate. Please contact us for more information and samples.

Will Abrasive Waterjet create any burr?
Yes, but we can control it depending on the surface fishish required.

What about precision?
Abrasive Waterjet can cut it relatively high precision (+/- .003")

Laser cutting will generate some heat that might change the property of my material. Can Abrasive Waterjet overcome this problem?
Absolutely,the heat from cutting process is so minimal that you can ignore it. There will be no heat effect to your parts at all. Additionally, we even cut under water.

Comparing to other machine processes, is it more expensive to use Abrasive Waterjet Machining?
Depending on your type of work,. abrasive waterjet machining gives you no fraying, cracking, or warping suface. This advantage alone can save you a lot of waste. Pre-drilling is not required since the jet can pierce the part by itself. We can even stack material and cut many layers of parts at the same time.
